Celtics vs. Pacers Odds & Betting Predictions - May 28, 2024

38 minutes, 21 FGA + 4 FTA, 21 drives, lead the pacers in touch time. I don’t expect him to score 30+ again, but coming off the game of his life, in a do or die situation, it’s hard to see him taking his foot off the gas. Plus, the matchups didn’t bother him, and the Celtics honestly weren’t great against PnR ball handlers this season (2nd most pts allowed).

IT’S 3PM SOMEWHERE!!

Just looked like prime Steve Nash

The Pacers head into game 4 down 3-0 despite having a few winnable games this series. Now it’s a win or go home Game 4. I’m looking at Andrew Nembhard to help lead this Pacers team who likely will be without Tyrese Haliburton. In Game 3, Nembhard racked up 9 assists on 16 potentials. This has been a trend for Nembhard without Haliburton though. In his last 10 games without Haliburton, he has averaged 7 assists on 11.4 potentials, but in most of those games he had played fewer than 30 minutes. In Game 3, with much of the season on the line, he played nearly 40 minutes. This Pacers offense is full of firepower, and Nembhard should be looked at to facilitate for his teammates. I’ll grab him to exceed 6.5 assists tonight and will sprinkle some Double Double

Yes Let’s run it back for much of the same reasoning as last game. Myles Turner simply has not had a ton of block opportunities against the Celtics. The Celtics allow their opponents the fewest blocks per game and they are blocked just 3.5 times per game. The Celtics take a high volume of 3s and they don’t force bad looks and they do not try and take flashy shots that can get blocked. Turner recorded two blocks in Game 1, but needed overtime and honestly, needed what should have been scored as a steal to be counted as a block. Over his last 11 games against the Celtics, he is averaging just 0.6 blocks per game and has only recorded 2+ due to the generous scorekeeper in Game 1. I’m grabbing Turner to go under 1.5 Blocks with room up to (-150).
